Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 136,685, dated Marchll,18773.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, J oHN H. Voer and GEORGE DIETZEL, of the city,county, and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedWaist-Belt, of which the followingis a specication:

Uur invention consists of a new and improved' waist -belt for1adies.Wear, which is Woven of a fancy warp of silk cord for the front,a back or bindin g-warp of gimp or strong thread for. the body, finesilk Warps for the borders, and a weft of'gimp, both the cord for theWarp vand the gimp for the weft being coarse and-heavy, to produce asubstantial article of sufcient stiffness for a belt Woven' Withopenmeshes; but We also propose to weave them close in some cases, althoughwe prefer to make them open.

Up to the present time belts of woven stuif havebeen made exclusively ofribbons and namental-as those Woven of cord and gimp, as We propose,lack thc stiffness and body required for such articles.

Figure 1 represents our'improved belt as it is appliedv to the wearer inuse. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a section of the belt. Fig. 3 is a Similarletters of reference indicate corre-L sponding parts.

A represents a section of the belt, which is composed of the fancy Warpof cord B andthe gimp weft C for the front of the body portion, with thefine Warps D, of silk or any equivalent, for the borders, and thebinding-Warps El for the back. The binding-Warp E secures the weft andthe cord-warps B, by the latter being passed under the, binding-warp Eand up altcrnately on opposite sides and over the weft which is abovethe binding-Warp altogether.

We propose to modify the order of bindin g the fabric together in thisWay as we Wish, and We will vary the colors and patterns by Warp andweft of different colors as we may nd it desirable to do.

A belt composed of the material above described can be made highlyornamental, as well as very strong and durable.

Having thus described our invention, We claim as new and desire tosecure by Lett-ers Patent- As an improved article of manufacture, awaist-belt formed by a combination of fancy cord B for the Warp and gimpO for the weft, with a binding-Warp, E, and borders of ne Warp,substantially as specified.
